On the nuclear side, the cost issues are complex partially because the timelines are so long.
We divided that number by a company's average output in kilowatts to come up with a cost per nuclear kilowatt.
It should be noted that the primary reason for the high cost of nuclear power is the great amount of safety and regulation surrounding it.

One is the development spending forgone as a result of the huge cost of building nuclear warheads and the means to deliver them.
Chancellor George Osborne has hinted he wants a new generation of gas-burning stations, partly because he's no enthusiast for wind turbines, but also because ambitions for new nuclear are being undermined by cost and uncertainty.
Nuclear proponents like to dodge the cost estimates and assert that it is environmental opposition preventing new plant orders.
WSJ: The Experts: What's the Best Way Forward on Nuclear Power?
Since the nuclear crisis at Fukushima, the cost of power has increased.
Opponents point to the enormous cost of building a nuclear power plant and question whether the industry is economically viable without taxpayers footing much of the bill.
Maybe some company could offer a reprocessing service that gives the utility a smaller quantity of waste for the repository plus some nuclear fuel to help offset the cost.
The tea party groups are also targeting Georgia Power over the rising cost to build two new nuclear reactors at Plant Vogtle.
Phasing out nuclear at the outset will make it cost even more.
Once built, nuclear reactors produce lots of low-cost power.
Mr. Immelt expressed his view that it is almost impossible on a cost basis to justify investing in nuclear power plants for the future.

Moving nuclear weapons from the Clyde after Scottish independence would cost billions of pounds and thousands of jobs, according to the UK government.
Energy leaders and experts recognize that as long as producing carbon pollution carries no cost, traditional plants that use fossil fuels will be more cost-effective than plants that use nuclear fuel.
Rationally speaking, the only way the Obama administration could reasonably expect to deter Israel from attacking Iran's nuclear installations would be if it could make the cost for Israel of attacking higher than the cost for Israel of not attacking.
Its record on running civilian nuclear power projects is one of constant delays and huge cost overruns.
ECONOMIST: Selling Westinghouse is lucrative but controversial
Think of the debt as a sunk cost (I am reminded of all those nuclear reactors that weighed down utility stocks in the 1980s and 1990s).
From the Bush White House, they're talking about large-scale technology: oil and gas, nuclear power plants and clean coal research, which will cost billions of dollars and will take years.
With regard to Trident, they say it would involve the loss of thousands of jobs and would cost billions in enforced redeployment, should the nuclear deterrent have to be moved.
Only after the cost of generation and storage of renewable energy matches the cost of on-demand generation from fossil, nuclear and hydro we will we see a transformation of the energy industry.
FORBES: Storage, Not Generation, is the Challenge to Renewable Energy
New nuclear reactors are promised, but many doubt that such high-cost, long-lived projects can work in a messy, unpredictable market without price guarantees.
Japan has few natural resources and the cost of importing fuel has increased after a backlash against nuclear power following the Fukushima nuclear disaster two years ago.
Maehara really cannot oppose restarting the nuclear reactors in light of the urgent need for power and the cost of both permanently shutting down all reactors (they have no spent fuel repository yet) and gearing up alternative sources.
FORBES: Fukushima Slugfest -- Japan's New Nuclear Regulation Authority
Turner -- who backs the elimination of nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction -- wanted to know whether the administration has considered ridding the world of weapons of mass destruction and supporting nuclear nonproliferation, rather than pursuing a missile defense program that would cost billions.
